Chapter 30 Pulling Sister Into the Water
Song Yujin knelt down, her voice tinged with tears, "I... I just got a new trick and invited Lianxue to taste it together..."
"That's not right," Qu Ling interrupted, "When the princess and I arrived, we clearly saw her kneeling on the ground with wounds on her face."
She looked directly at Song Yujin and said, "He was beaten."
The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and ordered the female official, "Go and take a look."
Qu Lianxue's body had been carried to the side room.
Upon hearing this, the two female officials stepped back to check.
After a moment, he reported back, "Your Highness, there is indeed a slap mark on the right cheek. The fingerprint is delicate, and it must have been done by a woman."
The eldest princess asked, "Song Yujin, why did you hit her?"
Song Yujin shook her head desperately, her eyes filled with fear.
In panic, she subconsciously looked at her mother Liu.
That look of panic and helplessness shattered all of Liu's rationality.
She was about to rush out, but her eldest daughter Song Yuzhen grabbed her wrist.
Song Yuzhen used a lot of strength.
Liu felt like her wrist was about to be pinched off.
She looked up and saw that her eldest daughter's eyes were full of determination and a hint of warning.
Will the whole Song family be dragged down by the trouble caused by the second sister herself?
She is stupid, so she can't blame others.
There was obviously a better way to deal with Qu Lianxue quietly, but she insisted on making it known to everyone.
Song Yujin took in the entire scene, and a gleam of resentment flashed in her eyes.
This eldest sister, who has always been dignified and virtuous, always steps on her.
Now he has even abandoned her.
"I'll ask you one last time, why did you hit her?"
The eldest princess deepened her tone, frightening Song Yujin so much that she trembled.
"You still don't say anything? I'm going to be rude to you."
A female official stepped forward and said to Liu, "Madam, please bring me the ruler."
When Song Yujin heard the ruler, she could no longer hold back.
She burst into tears, "It was Qu Lianxue... She was the one who hid the poem I wrote to Master Huaisu among the Buddhist scriptures at Guoqing Temple... She made me lose face..."
"I... I just wanted to vent my anger, I didn't want to kill her..."
Song Yujin emptied herself clean and admitted that the poems she had written at Guoqing Temple last time were indeed written by her.
Old Madam Song was deeply fooled by this idiot.
It was too late to stop him, so he could only shout, "Evil creature, are you crazy? How dare you lie in front of the princess!"
The incident at Guoqing Temple was finally covered up, but it was brought up again.
You really don't know the seriousness of the matter.
It's not a pity that she, a fool, died, but it would bring trouble to the other girls in the Song family.
Song Yujin was both afraid and angry.
He was interrogated by the eldest princess and scolded by his grandmother.
She knew she was finished, and her family didn't care about her and was about to give up on her.
A strong sense of unwillingness and resentment surged in my heart.
She was quite determined to fight to the death, so she simply confessed everything, "I admire Master Huaisu, and I wrote that poem. Qu Lianxue embarrassed me, so what's wrong with me teaching her a lesson?"
She looked at Song Yuzhen, whose expression was cold, with a malicious look in her eyes. "Sister, don't you know what I'm thinking? Why are you silent now?"
She said bitterly, "Do you think Song Yuzhen is clean? She has the young master of the Pei family in her heart. She stares at his poems every day. She is just pretending to be noble."
Song Yuzhen frowned slightly, his eyes cold.
But he said nothing, did not move, and had no intention of making any excuses.
In fact, she didn't need to ask.
Liu, who had just felt sorry for her little daughter, was the first to speak. "You bastard, you did something wrong yourself, and you blame your sister."
She rushed forward and slapped him in the face, "Your sister grew up in the presence of the Empress, how could she be as shameless as you?"
Song Yujin was hit so hard that she turned her head away, feeling heartbroken.
She turned her head and let out a laugh that made the hairs on her head stand on end. "You always deny that you're partial. You always say that since your sister isn't around, you should love her more. But in fact, you are partial."
She looked at Song Yuzhen with resentment, "It's normal that the prince doesn't like you. You even have Mr. Pei's poems hidden in your room..."
“That’s enough!”
Old Madam Song hit Song Yujin's back hard with her crutch. The force was so great that Song Yujin fell to the ground with a painful look on her face.
"How could my Song family raise someone like you who is full of lies?"
The eldest princess watched coldly for so long and chuckled, "It seems that the family tradition of the Song family is just like this."
"I am the Crown Prince's aunt. If the future Crown Princess truly has someone else in her heart, wouldn't that make them a pair of unhappy lovers? I hate to see a couple separated by force."
She asked the gloomy Madam Song with interest, "How about sending someone to check on the two girls' rooms?"
how?
Of course not!
Old Madam Song used all her strength to swallow the blood that rose up her throat.
If we don’t check, what kind of rumors will spread in the capital tomorrow?
The emperor had only one son, and the Song family didn't even have the chance to choose a prince.
Even if the prince does not marry Song Yuzhen in the end, the Song family has only one option, which is to support the prince to ascend the throne.
Otherwise, if the eldest princess wins, the first family to be liquidated will be the Song family.
Song Yuzhen was the Crown Princess appointed by Empress Dowager Song, but the Crown Prince didn't like her and was unwilling to marry her!
If word gets out that Song Yuzhen loves someone else, the prince will have even more reason not to marry her.
The better outcome is that the Song family changes the girl.
The worst outcome is that Song Yuzhen marries Mr. Pei.
The young master of the Pei family that Song Yujin mentioned was the adopted son of the eldest princess's husband, Pei Qi, and his name was Pei Jingming.
The eldest princess brought Zhao Yuanrong back with her for unknown reasons. The Empress Dowager Song was furious and forced her to find a husband.
Pei Qi loves the eldest princess. The Pei family is a declining family. Although they have no power in the court, they are still a big family.
He personally went to the Queen Mother Song to ask for help. He was gentle, humble and handsome. The Queen Mother Song liked him and agreed to the marriage.
After the marriage, the eldest princess lived in the princess's mansion with Zhao Yuanrong and never met her husband.
Pei Qi was deeply in love and never got close to his concubines. This had been the case for more than ten years.
Queen Mother Song was helpless and angry about her daughter, and felt guilty towards the Pei family.
So they decided to adopt a child from the same clan for him so that he would not have no descendants after his death.
This child is Pei Jingming.
In addition to his status as the son of the imperial concubine, the Empress Dowager Song, perhaps because she was angry with the eldest princess, also conferred him a title, Prince Shun'an.
This is to forcibly count Pei Jingming as the eldest princess's son.
When Pei Jingming grew up, he had elegant manners, great talent, and lofty ambition.
There are countless girls in the capital who admire him.
When Song Yujin said that Song Yuzhen was thinking about him, the people present began to believe it.
Old Madam Song looked extremely ugly.
"Your Highness, I think you are very thoughtful. You should investigate. Only after the investigation can you clear my name."
Without any warning, Song Yuzhen took the initiative to step forward.
